Product Description
Special Features
On the DVD commentary track, director Victor Salva gushes over his cast and crew (especially the two young leads), discusses how budget concerns affected numerous aspects of production, and provides his response to the eternal question, "Why didn't the kids just drive away?" Side 2 of the disc offers 10 extended scenes, including some longer conversations between Trish and Darry, more of the creeper, a longer opening, and a milder ending. A six-part, one-hour documentary provides comments by the cast and crew, screen tests, and production information. An eight-minute photo gallery set to Bennett Salvay's chilling score shows both conceptual art and backstage photographs. Both the photo gallery and the documentary are shot in anamorphic widescreen, while the feature itself can be played in either anamorphic widescreen or full-screen (pan-and-scan) format. --David Horiuchi
Product Description
You can keep your doors locked. You can keep your eyes closed. But still, he'll get what he wants and what he wants is you. Brace yourself for "90 minutes of steadily mounting horror [that] delivers more than its share of honest chills" (The Baltimore Sun). From "the scariest opening sequence of any horror picture in recent memory" (Los Angeles Times) to "one of the gutsiest endingsto a film this year" (Dallas Morning News), Jeepers Creepers is the real deal in terror! On a desolate country highway, two homeward-bound teens (Gina Philips, Living Out Loud and Justin Long, TV's "Ed") are nearly run off the road by a maniac in a beat-up truck and later spot him shoving what appears to be a body down a sewer pipe. But when they stop to investigate,they discover that the grisly reality at the bottom of that pipe is far worse than they could have ever suspected and that they are now the targets of an evil far more unspeakableand unstoppable 'than they could have ever imagined!

Be prepared to be glued to your screen. This fildelivers an incredible storyline that is eerily believeable in some parts and could happen anywhere in this strange world of ours.

If you love movie monsters, this will freak you out!
I have known nurses/female care-aides that prefer slasher pictures to monster movies. And, to be frank, I can't understand peoples love of psychotic gore feasts. Yes, it is scary. But it is so because it does happen and I won't name the movies. The absolutely great thing about monster movies at their very best is they won't happen. That -- is what makes them so exciting, as perverse as this sentiment may seem to you.
This concept is so out there it is beyond the Wes Craven films.. this bodes well for writer/director Victor Salva. I hope to see more of him. As for exec producer Francis Ford Coppola, I can't help speculate this is the horror film he wished he had helmed!

On a desolated country highway Darry (Justin Long) and his sister Trish (Gina Philips) are nearly run off the road by The Creeper (Jonathan Breck) in an old beat up truck.
Later they spot The Creeper and see what appears to be a body wrapped in a sheet being thrown down a sewer pipe.
Darry insists that they check it out.
At the bottom of the sewer Darry finds hundreds of dead bodies.
Darry and Trish now become targets of an evil far more unspeakable and unstoppable than they ever imagined.
Rest of the cast includes Patricia Belcher and Eileen Brennan.
When I first saw the previews for Jeepers Creepers I thought the movie looked terrible and the tagline what's eating you? Didn't help matters much.
With nothing to do one night I gave Jeepers Creepers a chance with rather low expectations.
It got off to a fast start and pretty much never let up, it was full of suspense and jolts.
The biggest complaint I hear about Jeepers Creepers, is when we find out who and what the Creeper is.
I do agree that it did hurt the movie a bit. Even when we find out the Creeper is some supernatural demon I was fine with that.
But once he started sprouting wings and when we get a good look at The Creeper that hurt the movie.
The first half of the movie, The Creeper was kept hidden we didn't really see much of him and that worked.
Still with that said Writer/Director Victor Salva does a great job.
The movie was well written and his directing was right on the money.
Salva showed great potential as horror filmmaker, but dropped the ball with Jeepers Creepers 2.
Justin Long and Gina Philips both give great performances.
Despite the 2nd half of Jeepers Creepers, it's still a fun movie that delivers the goods.

It takes a few times to watch before the monster gets scary
This is a movie you should watch at least twice. Not even because you will be dying to watch it again immidiately, but because you'll need to prepare for what is to come. Read more

AWESOME ENDING! Worth viewing on the strength of the ending.
This movie is certainly not ground-breaking (though it could have been). Like many others have commented, it loses steam mid-way through (after the kids leave the church). Read more

Lawrance is right
The beginning is great; it gets you thinking, "Wow, maybe this will be a REAL horror film for a change." Then the whole thing falls apart pretty fast. Read more
